That thought would have been helpful before I wrote the post. Damn.

Solid guess... but the answers the judges were looking for were either "What is Holy Sonnet X?" or "What is Death Be Not Proud?"

But I'll give the points anyway for bothering to answer.

I got my PhD in English so when there's an emergency and someone yells: "Is anyone a doctor!?!?!" I can reply: "I am!" And then I start reciting one of John Donne's Holy Sonnets. (Bonus points for anyone who can guess which one.)

Seems Sonja did a good job. We're talking about Sweden, right? How often does that topic come up in daily conversation for non-Swedish people?

I'd also add (as an English PhD) that maybe the author of the post should read up on his Paul Graham: http://paulgraham.com/hp.html

I don't mean to flame Siri (or maybe I do?), but am I the only person who thought, "Uh-oh... get ready for lots of lost Mercedes drivers"?

Listen... I appreciate the concept of Siri, but the implementation still has much to be desired. The other day my wife and I were driving down the road searching for somewhere to eat, and I asked Siri for a Chinese Buffet. Her only response was "Are you looking for Chinese food or a Buffet?" As someone with a hankering for all-I-could-eat, lukewarm General Tso's Chicken, that answer was simply unacceptable.
